Crystal Eye EDU
Enterprise-Grade Cybersecurity for the Education Sector
Built on the proven Crystal Eye 360 technology
Not a Cybersecurity Expert? Not a Problem.
Digital Education Systems has partnered with Sovereign Cyber Security provider Red Piranha to deliver a fully managed cybersecurity system designed for schools – so you can stop firefighting and start focusing on what you’re actually paid to do.
Are you the “IT person” just because you know how to reset a password?
Are you fixing firewalls during your lunch break?
We get it. You’re teaching, troubleshooting, rebooting printers, managing laptops, and somehow also responsible for keeping your school safe online. That’s too much for anyone — especially with cyber threats getting smarter every day.
Crystal Eye EDU is a fully managed, school-ready cybersecurity system built on the same platform trusted by government agencies and major corporations — but simplified for education.
What you get
(In a Nutshell)
We install a secure box on your network that filters dodgy sites, blocks malware, and protects every student and staff device.
We monitor your network 24/7 — if something suspicious happens, we deal with it.
You get a Virtual Cybersecurity Officer (eCISO) to handle the policies, compliance, and staff training.
If there’s an incident, we jump in and handle the response.
You don’t have to babysit it. You don’t need to configure anything. You don’t need to be a cyber expert.
Crystal Eye EDU just works — so you can get back to actually doing your job.

- Built on the proven Crystal Eye 360 technology
- Centralised management with simple dashboards

AI-powered detection engines that monitor activity 24/7
Immediate containment of emerging threats
Full forensic logs and compliance reporting
Pre-emptive responses to known and unknown threats
3. NDR – Network Detection & Response

Monitors lateral movement and insider threats
Dark web monitoring for exposed school credentials
Traffic inspection and automated network segmentation
4. SOC – Security Operations Centre
